There is a long interchange of opinions about a possible new game from Sonalyst. It´s for a modern warfare or subsim game, but there are a lot of good ideas about gameplay and dreams about a sub game. I recommend you to read it!

Regards.

you and your friend should consider joining Daemon in his long-term project to build a WW1 UBoat simulation. Basically, the same engine he is developing (With the most incredible and amazing attention to detail and realism I have ever seen -and I have tested some of his pre-alphas) would work perfectly as a WW2 UBoat simulation with just adding the new 3D models you so well develop.

A colaboration bewteen you guys would push the project forward easier, and Daemon's one is also a commercial one, so you could find the income there.

Ask him to send you per PM a dossier about his sim and an outline of his current progress and schedule, you will be amazed :up:

i would come aboard! truly...

:yeah:

i was trying to fascinate the people here several times the last years for such a great project. but its nearly impossible. so, dont take the reactions personal.

i am a studied graphics-artist. my skills are:

2d design, layout and conception
3d design, layout and conception

let me know, when your firm starts working. would be an option to buyout the sh5-code (or a license) from ubi. so nothing needs to be done from the scratch. the engine is great. and i think with access to the code of sh5, EVERYTHING we ever dreamed of would be possible.

:salute:

I love your drive and ambition kaleun. If this ever comes to fruition subsimmers will be worshipping you till the end of time mate. Unfortunately I can't offer any skills, just a suggestion..........

Hello Hans,

what are you think about that:

After the release of U-boottypIIA, according to the gamers feedback, starting enlarges this mod.

Instead of a absolute break of 12 or more months, better is adding something new every few weeks, and transform U-boottypIIA to simply U-boot.

Somebody starting a carrier with your future IIA can give feedback and, probably continuing play with the VII some weeks later, always giving feedback.

Meantime, the new campaign model will be ready, so the same players will start a really new campaign with the newcomer IXB.

During this road to perfection, new elements will come, and the players will be the continuous testers of all that. It happens like that for all the supermods here.

For me, is better like that, no several months of silent running, and after the "big bang" with 3.568 threads with questions and answers.

Like that people will stay longer inside The Game, and (new) people will be (re)interested.

Thank you for your time.

PS: For me, after playing for 5 years the (almost) same scenario over the 5 seas, a new campaign model with a new more complex behaviour for the (escaping) ships is the first priority. Drama graphics the second one (explosions, blood, flooding, fire, survivors...).

This article might be helpful. It discusses the development process of a pirate game. http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/15757

I think the indepth character(first person) is a great idea. It really sucks you in and having characters to talk to and interact with is cool too, kinda gives you the effect of becoming a family. Set skills for your a.i. characters that you could build on would be awsome too. Like if your engineer was a greenhorn he would have a low skill level and as the years gone buy of wrench grinding he would become a veteran and now everything about his engine room and set experience on a set engine. Same thing for your own character as well. You first start off with no respect from crew and after a few years patrolling and some good tonnage and few close calls he could have alot of respect from his crew. Actual repair times and such. Enviroments are a plus too. You cant imerse yourself in a simulator if your enviroment is crap such as going through locks, sounds, actual navigational rules of the road, drift,wind speeds and current actually effect how your boat reacts in the water,diffrent water clarity transitions from sea to sea, some sea life would be cool too, random darkness at night and weather based on seasons and currents,jet streams and such. This forum actually has alot of mods that try to incorperate these suggestions. maybe you could contact some of the modders and ask to see if they would let you incorperate into your project.

Hi Hanns, If anyone could complete a project of this scale - I belive that person to be you mate ;).
If you do start, if there's anyway I could help my services are yours :up:.
Not sure what I could do for you, maybe some Interface design or something.
As for what is needed in a uboat and so far has not been touched by the Silent Hunter franchise is a proper working Stadimeter.

Current Sh3/4 type use's a vertical stadimeter, where as Uboats had a one that switched between vertical and horizontal. Great when mast height and ship length are known - using stadimeter with these dialed in obtained the stadimeter.

Best of luck with the project mate :yeah:

I know, I know, that's why I said that you could colaborate in the common parts of the game (3D engine, physics, maps and some models) and then each one complete it with the period models and campaign you want :salute:

I do like the idea of this corroboration, it's a scratch my back and I'll scratch yours kind of thing, you help them out with your expertise to finish their WWI scenario sim and they do the same with your WWII scenario sim, built from the same foundations they would be modules into the same engine, maybe even, dare I say it, leading to a modern Nuclear Submarine module at some point in the future, all the time adding patches to the previous modules as you discover new things / ways of doing things. Will cut development times down also, and we get 2 sims for the price of one (and yes, I would pay for it).

Ok, so that's my cloak of negativity safely packed away for the day... :yeah:
